Terms and conditions.

Why do we usually tell 'terms and conditions' together? Why not 'conditions' alone or 'terms' alone. Since 'terms' and 'conditions' both mean almost the same, don't you think they must be used seperately?I also have a same doubt with 'rules and regulations'.

Thanks.

Rover,

Prajwal has asked why they are used together when they have the same meaning? What is the answer?

Hi,

I think he has already answered it, Vivek.

Terms and conditions and Rules and regulations are such well-established set phrases .
The word 'set' signifies that they must be used together.

But why can't they be used independently? They mean the same.
